Chemistry Question on Bohr’s Model for Hydrogen Atom
Water gas is a mixture of
A
H2 + CO2
B
H2 + CO
C
H2O + CO
D
CO + CO2
Answer
H2 + CO
Explanation
Solution
Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxideand hydrogen produced from the synthesis gas.
- It is a fuel gas in which hydrogenand carbon monoxide (CO) are present in equal proportions along with trace amounts of carbon dioxide, methane as well as Nitrogen.
- Water gas is used in welding and glass making.
When steam is passed over red hot coke at 10000C, water gas is formed.
H 2O + C → CO + H2
Thus, Water gas is a mixture of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). Therefore, Option B is incorrect.
